Steve Bannon believes that the Wall Street Journal's publishing of an alleged letter from
Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein is part of a
Rupert Murdoch plot to take down the president.
'Last night, we saw it in all its ugliness. The Murdochs hate Trump,' Bannon said.
'The Murdochs want to take down Trump. And this is why on this Epstein and everything, including the rest of the going at the deep state, we have to be on offense all the time.'
Bannon claimed that the Wall Street Journal is the arm of Murdoch's media empire - which includes WSJ,
Fox News and The New York Post - he uses specifically to attack Trump.
'They used the
New York Post as more of a populist entity,' Bannon said. 'And of course,
Fox News is for RINOs. But the
Wall Street Journal is the neoliberal neocon sharp end of the stick that they come after Trump. And last night they tried to actually destroy him with what looks like a phony and fake letter.'
He went further, calling the letter an attempted 'kill shot on President Trump because he had the stones to stand up to the Murdochs.'
'He can’t wait to get Rupert Murdoch on the stand. You know, Murdoch swore us, you know, squirmed out of having to do the
Dominion thing because of the emails that Rupert Murdoch said were going to make Trump a non-person, a non-person, but he ain’t going to get out of this one.'
Trump is requesting a jury trial and is
suing 'for damages, punitive damages, court costs, and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper, not to be less than $10 billion dollars.'
The claim was made during a broadcast before Trump filed a $10billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.
